This is great. There's a great deal of talent at work here. Some artists work in wax (encaustic) some use water colors, some use steel and others use light. These artists use human hair to make interesting interpretations of everyday items and give us some fun in the process.

This.

I have a cosmetology degree and training that allow me to give you a great haircut, do some standard classic updo's for weddings/prom, sew-in some weave, and I can even dye your head to look like a rainbow threw up on you, but that hair show shiat is beyond my skill level. There is technique and talent required and something of an art to it. I know how much time these designs must have taken from sketch to run-through practices to the big event: A. farking. Lot. My hat is off to these stylists.

On a related note, if this sort of stuff amuses you and you like Alan Rickman, check out the movie Blow Dry. Total cheese and camp, but it takes a few good natured jabs at the absurdity of hair shows. Bonus: Heidi Klum is also in it as a hair model.

Around town here in the st. Louis area, I have seen some amazing/wierd hairdos.... One recently was a woven pastel Easter basket out of hair on her head, complete with plastic mini eggs and synthetic Easter grass. Mind= blown.
